1. If you've never been an Apple Music subscriber and redeem an Apple Music Gift Card, you get your trial (if applicable) in addition to the number of months the card is worth. Months of Apple Music from an Apple Music Gift Card can't be applied toward a family subscription, student subscription, or subscription bundled with your mobile phone provider (through supported carriers).

Locate your redemption code

When you try to redeem a gift card, you'll be asked for the card's redemption code. Peel or gently scratch off the label on the back of the gift card to reveal a 16-digit code that starts with an X.

Promotional content codes might not have a sticker, might not be 16 digits, and might not start with an X.

If you have an older card, the number might appear in different places. Here are some examples:

If you want to use the camera in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to add your gift card, tap Use Camera. Make sure to follow the onscreen instructions to capture the redemption code.
If you're in certain countries or regions, or have an older card, you might have to enter the card manually: Tap "You can also enter your code manually," then follow the prompts.

If you have an App Store & iTunes Gift Card or Apple Music Gift Card, enter the 16-digit code, which starts with X, from the back of the card.

If you have a promo or content code, enter the code from the back of the card.
